An inquest has been shown video of the aftermath of an attack in Wolverhampton in which a man stabbed his sister to death as well as stabbing his mother.

Melvin James carried out the attack in March before turning the knife on himself.

We saw some rather disturbing footage which had been filmed on a bodycam worn by one of the two officers who were initially called to the flat.

It clearly shows them trying to enter the flat, shouting at Melvin James to drop the knife. He is later shown lying in a carridor.

The inquest continues.

An inquest jury's heard conflicting evidence about a nine-year-old boy who died after eating lunch at school.

The court was told Mohammad Ismaeel Ashraf from Sparkbrook had eaten fish fingers at Birmingham's Al Hijrah School and then developed symptoms similar to an allergic reaction. He later died in hospital.

A school spokesman said its notes indicated Ismaeel had an allergy to fish, but his father Tahseen said his son had eaten white fish on many occasions and had no allergy to it.

He wept in the witness box as he described his son as kind, gentle and caring.

A dietician, Ros Blackmore, who first saw Ismaeel in 2012, said he had allergies to milk, nuts and kiwi fruit but "white fish didn't seem to be a problem at all".
